Johannes Andersen extendable coffee table...the three states?  

I think that #1 is not actually Johannes Andersen

Thank you for this most intriguing answer! I was not expecting this twist. May I ask what leads you to think so?

I was trying to remember, and now I have dug up the proof: I have a page from an Anton Dam catalog that says it (coffee table #1 above) was designed by J. Linde. Also, I am relatively certain that this table dates to the mid 1960s. I don't know when the otherwise were designed exactly, but the likelihood is that they were designed before then, as almost nothing teak was designed after then. So the likelihood is that this table is chronologically the last of them.

Most excellent, thank you leif! I

Thank you Leif for this info! Any idea who J. Linde who worked for CFC is?

Anyway, the table goes uncredited in CFC

The uncredited ad makes sense. It appears that J. Linde was primarily on the ownership side of CFC.

this forum is a treasure

I don't trust Lauritz. I am not saying that the DFI entry for #3 is wrong or right.

This leads me to wonder if any of the three are really Andersen designs.

Great info here Lief, I appreciate it.

I think you are right to wonder. I think they look more like Johannes Andersen designs.

one final question

As I suggested above, it would probably be best to avoid trying to jump to a conclusion about the other two designs. If JA had been the only designer working with CFC, then perhaps it would make sense to make that jump, but we know that JA and JL drew very similar designs. This leaves the other pieces in a very uncertain place as to designer. Further documentation is needed.
